31: Catching Pancakes With Special Guest Open Mike Eagle

FFR Season Preview: Anyone But You with new co-host A.C. Lamberty

Feminist Frequency Radio is coming back for its first new season as an independent podcast following the sunset of the FF organization after an incredible 15 years. Kat Spada is thrilled to be re-joined by new co-host A.C. Lamberty, who joined Kat last year for FFR's indulgent "Machos: Fully Loaded" limited series.

In this week's episode we're catching up on Feminist Frequency news, getting amped for the new season, and dissecting a movie we both enjoyed greatly and almost walked out of the theater several times: Will Gluck's 2023 rom-com Anyone But You starring Glenn Powell and Sydney Sweeney, a loose adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.

Next month we'll be back with standard FFR podcast episodes filled with feminist media criticism, and we're so excited to welcome special guests, dive into some book club selections for our Patreon subscribers, and so much more. Stay tuned!

We’re wrapping up this season of FFR just as we started it, with Anita Sarkeesian returning for an episode where she and host Kat Spada talk about a classic movie they both love and could watch over and over. But while this season’s first episode featured Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing, this week we’re focusing on a more unconventional romantic leading man—but one that has nevertheless stood the test of time—Nicolas Cage opposite Cher in Norman Jewison’s Moonstruck.
